HAVELOCK WOOL ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
Sound Control, Naturally.
Create quieter, more comfortable spaces with natural wool acoustic panels that absorb sound without synthetic materials, fiberglass fibers, or off-gassing.
Whether you're designing a recording studio, outfitting a home theater, improving an office, or reducing noise in a van build, Havelock panels deliver acoustic performance while supporting healthier indoor air.
ONE PANEL. TWO JOBS.
Sound Absorption + Air Filtration
No other acoustic treatment does both.
Most acoustic treatments focus on sound alone. Havelock Air + Sound Panels do more.
The open fiber structure of natural wool absorbs mid- and high-frequency sound energy, helping noise control by reducing echo, reverberation, and unwanted noise. At the same time, wool fibers interact with indoor air by helping regulate moisture and permanently sequestering formaldehyde.
The result is a quieter space with healthier indoor air.
No foam. No fiberglass. No synthetic fillers.
The Problem With Conventional Acoustics
Many acoustic products are designed to improve sound performance without considering the environment they're installed in.
Conventional Acoustic Products
- Foam panels may off-gas VOCs in enclosed spaces
- Fiberglass panels can release airborne fibers during handling and installation
- Many products focus solely on sound absorption while overlooking indoor air quality
- Synthetic materials often prioritize performance over occupant health
Why Wool Performs Better
- Zero off-gassing
- No airborne fiberglass particles
- Natural, renewable material
- Excellent acoustic performance
- Supports healthier indoor environments
- Dual-function performance for sound control and air quality
How Wool Acoustic Panels Work
Natural wool fibers create an open, porous structure that captures and dissipates sound waves before they can reflect back into a room.
This helps reduce echo, control reverberation, and create more comfortable acoustic environments in spaces where clarity matters.
Havelock Air + Sound Panels are available in both 1-inch and 2-inch depths to support different acoustic goals and room configurations.
Understanding NRC Ratings
Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) measures how effectively a material absorbs sound. Higher NRC ratings indicate greater sound absorption performance.
Panel thickness, density, placement, and room conditions all influence overall acoustic results. Havelock panels are tested to provide reliable, measurable performance while maintaining the natural benefits of wool.

-
Yes, wool acoustic panels are highly effective for sound absorption. Wool's natural fiber structure helps reduce echo and reverberation, making it an excellent choice for soundproofing insulation and improving room acoustics. Wool is one of the best acoustic materials available.
-
Wool acoustic panels typically have an NRC rating between 0.85 and 1.0, depending on thickness and installation. This makes them comparable to or better than many synthetic materials. For soundproofing, STC ratings also play an important role in measuring sound transmission.
-
Wool panels offer superior performance in many ways. They are non-toxic, naturally fire-resistant, breathable, and provide excellent sound absorption across a wider frequency range than foam. Foam can degrade over time and may release harmful chemicals.
-
No. Wool is a natural material and does not off-gas harmful chemicals like many synthetic acoustic products. This makes wool panels a healthier choice for indoor air quality.
-
The number of panels depends on room size, shape, and intended use. As a general rule, covering 15-30% of wall surface area is effective for most spaces. For recording studios or home theaters, more coverage may be needed.
-
Yes. Wool panels absorb sound energy and reduce noise transmission, making them effective for soundproofing. They work especially well as a bass trap in corners and can be combined with other materials for enhanced performance.
-
Wool panels can be installed using adhesive, mounting clips, or frames. For best acoustic performance, leave a small air gap between the panel and the wall. This enhances low-frequency absorption.
-
Thicker panels absorb lower frequencies more effectively. A 2-inch panel will perform better at controlling bass and mid-range sounds, while a 1-inch panel is suitable for higher frequencies and general echo reduction.
-
Absolutely. Wool panels offer excellent fire resistance and are non-combustible, making them safe for professional environments. They also contribute to a healthier building envelope and indoor air quality.
-
Wool naturally filters airborne particles and helps regulate humidity. While not a replacement for HVAC filtration, wool panels contribute to better indoor air quality. They also provide excellent thermal performance with a high r-value.
-
Both materials perform well acoustically, but wool is a natural, renewable resource that is safer to handle and install. Rockwool can be irritating to skin and lungs, while wool is soft, non-toxic, and biodegradable.
-
Yes. Wool has excellent acoustic properties and is highly effective at absorbing sound across low, mid, and high frequencies.
-
Wool performs on par with or better than many synthetic options and adds the benefit of being non-toxic, breathable, and mold resistant.
-
Absolutely. Wool is ideal for interior partition walls where sound privacy is important, especially in bedrooms, offices, and studios.
-
Yes. While it does not eliminate external noise entirely, wool helps dampen traffic, wind, and neighborhood sounds by absorbing and diffusing vibrations.
-
Wool insulation is often used in recording studios, home theaters, and podcast rooms because of its high sound absorption and natural materials.
-
No. Wool installs like standard batt insulation and does not require masks, gloves, or adhesives to be effective in soundproofing applications.
